Why window shutters?

There are many reasons why window shutters have increased in popularity so much over the years.

For a start, there’s the aesthetics. Quality window shutters add a stylish edge to any room, with their clean, sophisticated lines. They have a timeless appeal that complements all styles, period or contemporary. And don’t forget the kerb appeal. Shutters give a neat, elegant finish to your street-side view.

They are also an incredibly practical choice. As well as giving you flexible control over the amount of light and privacy entering your room, they also offer excellent insulation. The extra barrier between the window and the room helps to keep the heat in, and cold out. This has been backed up by research. The United Nations RENFORUS concluded that wooden shutters can greatly improve the energy efficiency of traditional and historic homes.

Plantation shutters

These louvred shutters have their origins in Southern USA and were originally seen on large plantation houses in the Deep South. Now, you’ll find plantation shutters all over the world, and here in the UK they are one of the most popular shutter styles. The louvred shutters allow natural temperature control and have remarkable properties for keeping heat in, and out, of the home.

White window shutters

White is by far the best-selling colour for window shutters. As the ultimate in neutral colours, you’ll find white window shutters blend in seamlessly to any room. White brings brightness to the room, creating a fresh feeling that emphasises natural light and space. It’s a classic yet contemporary look that works anywhere.

Cafe style shutters

Traditionally seen in Parisian cafes and restaurants, these half-height shutters add a chic, continental style to your home. Incredibly versatile, cafe style shutters cover the lower half of the window, leaving the top half free for natural light to enter the room. Perfect for rooms that are overlooked, they give privacy from passers-by along with plenty of daylight.

Tier on tier shutters

These shutters have upper and lower panels that open independently of one another, giving you complete control over both light and privacy levels. Highly versatile, tier on tier shutters can be easily adjusted to suit any circumstance, from complete privacy to full sunlight. The classic and traditional design complements period properties and is particularly suitable for tall, grand windows.

Full height shutters

These practical and beautiful shutters cover the entire height of the window. A popular and versatile choice, full height shutters will fit any type of window and blend effortlessly into every room style. Made to measure, the simple design has minimal panelling around the slats, giving you maximum light and airflow. Ideal for doors as well as windows.

Wooden shutters

Here at American Shutters, our wooden shutters are made from the finest quality solid timber. Wood is the natural choice for window shutters of all styles, with its beautiful natural finish and feel. It is also a very resilient option, being naturally hard-wearing and robust. Wooden shutters can be painted, sandblasted or stained as you choose. Our stained shutters can be carefully matched to your current furniture or choose driftwood shutters for a bohemian feel.

Bay window shutters

Bay windows are ideally suited to window shutters. Because the shutters can be mounted to suit the shape of the window they retain the original outline of the bay, rather than masking it with curtains. Bay window shutters are an elegant choice for bays and a beautiful way to preserve the integrity of your period home.

Interior window shutters

The original window shutters were installed on large plantation houses in the Deep South. These were placed on the outside of the building, as protection from the heat and the sun. However, now shutters have moved inside the home to window shutters interior. Interior shutters provide a huge range of benefits, including improved insulation, privacy control and light regulation.

Bedroom shutters

The bedroom is an ideal space for window shutters, where privacy and light control are an important consideration. Full height shutters are particularly suited to this room, but you’ll find all window shutters give excellent privacy control. Bedroom shutters can be designed with room-darkening in mind, with special overlapping blades to reduce light leakage.

Patio door shutters

Our shutters aren’t just for windows. They are also the perfect option for patio doors. Whether you have sliding doors or traditional hinged doors, our patio door shutters will provide the solution you are looking for. Ideal for summer days, they allow light and air to stream through the slats, whilst providing a barrier against insects. They also won’t flap in the breeze like blinds or curtains.

Blackout shutters

When you want it really dark, nothing beats our room darkening shutters. Ideal for bedrooms and nurseries, these specially designed shutters are designed to give you a total blackout. The overlapping blades have a special grooved edge which allows the blades to close snugly on top of each other. This reduces light leakage to practically zero, giving you a blissfully dark bedroom.

Bathroom window shutters

Window shutters provide excellent privacy, making them the ideal choice for bathrooms and wet rooms. For bathrooms and rooms with excess moisture, you’ll want to opt for waterproof shutters. Durable and stylish, they are made from quality UPVC and won’t warp or distort in humid conditions. Choose from a range of colours to suit your bathroom décor.

Plastic shutters

Our plastic shutters are crafted from high-quality UPVC and will stand the test of time. Ideal for rooms where moisture is an issue – wet rooms, bathrooms, garages, sheds and outbuildings – these waterproof shutters will withstand high moisture levels without distorting. Durable and hard-wearing, they look just as stylish as our wooden shutters and come in a range of colours.

Room dividers

Using shutters as room dividers is an increasingly popular way to transform your home. With so many homes now designed as open-plan spaces, room dividers will give you the choice to use the space in a way that suits you. A brilliantly flexible solution, they can be left open or closed according to your needs. Less permanent than a wall and more adaptable than a door, room divider screens may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

French door shutters

French doors are a beautiful addition to any home. As such, it can be a shame to lose the light they bring into the room by adding curtains. This is where patio door shutters come to the rescue. They give you that essential privacy and cosiness in the evenings, but don’t block out the light during the day. The adjustable slats give you complete control over the amount of light and air entering your home. It’s the best of both worlds.
